DIED FROM GRIEF.
Mrs. Mantle Drops Dead from Apoplexy
Caused by Her Husbands Suit for Divorce.

The domestic difficulties of William H. Mantle
and his wife, Sarah. residing at No. 760 North
Tennessee street. ended last night, at 9 o'clock.
by Mrs. Mantle dropping dead with apoplexy.
The trouble between the husband and wife
began seven weeks ago, when Mr.. Mantle
alleges that he discovered that Mrs. Mantle was
too intimate with Daniel Taegart. Last week
he fled a complaint for divorce. charg
ing his wife with having been too in
innate with Taggart On Monday of
this week he followed up the divorce suit with
one against Taggart for $4,000 damages for
alternating his wlfes affections. Mrs Mantle de-
MED all the accusations. and beartbroken
over the disgrace brought upon her by the
charges. She brooded over the affair until her
mind became effected, and last night she fell
out of her chair, dead from stroke of apoplexy.
brought on. the physicians say, by undue excite
ment. a
Mr. Mantle was near his wife when she
dropped dead, and the shock affected his mind
He procured q butcherknife and attempted to
take his own life, but was prevented by the
neighbors who came in. DR.. Hodges was called
to see him, but was unable to give him anything
that would quiet him, and after he
left Mr. Mantle broke away from the
neighbors and procured a revolver. He
left the house armed, and declared he was
going to kill Taggart. who, he alleged, had been
the cause of all his trouble. The police in that
district were called and succeeded in capturing
and djsarming the man. In order to prevent
him from committing self destruction or murder,
guard of three men were placed over him.
Those who know Mrs. Mantle best say there
was no ground for the charges her husband
made against her.

Good For Gallagher.

Hon. John B. Gallagher, of Lyon
County, has made move in the
right direction, and one which is
calculated to be of great benefit to
our country. The great value OF
his enterprise is made more appar-
ent by the low stage of water at
present in the Walker river.
Mr.. Gallagher has located the
Twin Lakes of Mono county, Cal,
and proposes to convert them into
great reservoirs tor the storage of
the surplus water of the Winter,
and by succession of bitches to
systematically distribute the same
throughout Mason Valley in the
latter part of the season.
Such store of water to draw
upon at the present time. would be
worth thousands of dollars to our
farmers this Fall, and be of great
benefit to our stock interests as well /,
the present scarcity of water will
surely make forage for stock scarce
and all kinds of feed high. These
lakes are situated about 20 miles
from Mason Valley and consequent
ly the construction of the necessary
dams, fumes and bitches, is an
undertaking of no small proportions.
But the well known energy and
ability of the protector is sufficient
guarantee for it's successful accom-
plishment.-Lyon County Times.

THE DIVISION QUESTION.

A somewhat hot-headed Dakota CORE
spondent, who evidently has not read his
GLOBE to advantage, objects to certain
comments of this paper upon the subject of
division. There is no occasion for misap-
prehensfon. The GLOBE believes that it is
a question whose decision belongs to the
people of Dakota themselves. Dakota is
well entitled to statehood, far more so than
several states of population much smaller
than hers, and in justice statehood should
no longer be denied her. But the action of
Dakotans themselves with reference to the
division question has materially retarded
the granting of the privilege. Their lack
of harmony upon a question so vitality i'm
portant could not fail to have that effect.
When the people, however, have
with some degree of unanimity de-
clared their wishes there is reason to
believe that they will receive due att enton
They should undoubtedly be permitted to
vote upon the division question, and then
with their united voice heard throughout
the land, could demand statehood in ac-
cordanee with the sentiments thus eX-
pressed. either for the territory as whole
or accompanied by division. Self govern
ment is the foundation of American insti-
buttons, and by declaring unanimously their
preference for one OF the other forms of adj
mission, they could expect to see their
claims meet with the attention they merit

VAN WYCK,S DEFEAT.

The defeat of Senator VAN WICK in
Nebraska is not surprise. however much
it may be regretted. Nebraska is rock
ribbed, iron-bound Republican state. and
consequently is completely under railroad
domination. Senator VANWYCK had made
a record in the senate as fearless enemy
to corporate power. He denounced the
corruptions and eXtortiOns of the corpora
tons and exposed the thievery of the land
rings. The result was that VAN WICK
was long marked out as victim. He
thoroughly understood this and when the
time came around to elect a legislature
which would choose his successor he made
direct appeal to the people for support.
The popular verdict was in favor of VAN
WICK. But when the legislature assem-
bled it was soon discovered that the cor
porations controlled the body in spite of
the instructions that the people had given
to their representatives to vote for VAN
WICK. The result is that the champion OF
popular rights has been showed under
VAN WycK's mistake was in going into
the Republican caucus. When a man
starts out to measure swords with cor
porate power he has no business numbering
himself with the Republican machine
Whenever reformer gets away from the
Democratic party he is lost.

INLunICIons ADVICE

1t is an excellent indication of the hard
common sense and natural courtesy which
have ever characterized Gov. PIERCE that
he refuses to give heed to the extremely
partisan and injudicious advice being given
him by Republican politicians in Dakota to
take advantage of the delay in GOV.
CHURCH's confirmation and appoint all the
territorial officers. whose selection would
naturally fall to the latter. With Repub-
llcan Legislature there is no doubt that the
opportunity exists for Gov. PIERCE to act
in the direction in which the pressure is
being eXerted. He could easily disregard
the courtesy due Gov. CHURCH, and fill the
territorial offices again with Republicans.
But he is not that kind of man. He is
animated by spirit of fairness which would
make that kind of conduct seem despicable in
the extreme. Besides. if Gov, PIERCE has
any idea of a political future in Dakota,
such action would be fatal to his aspira-
tons. AS it is, he has strong hold upon
the people. Democrats and Republicans
alike commend his administration. His
record has been an enviable one, and with
statehood given Dakota, he can reasonably
expect even better things in the future. But
should he follow the advice of the Republi-
can partizans, who are actuated simply by
the itch of office holding, he might as well
bid farewell at once to all hope of future
political preferment. He would ALLEVIATE
alike Democrats and fair-minded Republi-
cans, who are now disposed to regard him
with favor. and We do not believe he is
quite prepared to do that.

LIE STOCK YARDS.


independent of the pleasure which was
derived from an afternoons recreation
looking over the plant of what is to be the
most important industrial enterprise that
has ever been established in this state. the
members of the legislature, who WIS.,
tied the new stock yards yesterdy,
received some valuable suggestions
regarding the development of the agri-
cultural interests of this state. The eStab-
Tshment of the great stock yards in this
city naturally suggested to- their minds the
necessity for dversifying the agriculture of
this state. 1t likewise unfolded to
them solution of the problem
of how to ward off the threatened
disaster to Northwestern farming interests
which now menaceS it in the shape of the
competition from India's wheat product.
The lesson our Minnesota law givers learned
Yesterday was that Minnesota's future pros
perity lies in producing less wheat and more
live stock 1t was explained to them how
each farmer could raise an extra steer and
two extra hogs on his farm without the addi-
ton of dollars expense. There are 100, 900
farms in Minnesota, and this means an in
crease each year of 100, 900 cattle and 300
hogs. or an aggregate animal increase to
the market products of the state of over
one-half million of dollars without the in
crease of a single dollar to the ex.
pense of producing. The stock yards
now in process of construction in
st. Paul will create market
for every hoof of live stock that is raised in
the state, or can be raised. Possessing the
most superior natural advantages for live
stock raising, Minnesota soon can afford to
be independent of the fuctuati ons of
an uncertain wheat market. That time
will come with the completion Of our stock
yards. Their capacity will be increased in
proportion to the demand for it, so that the
farmers OF the state need have no fear of
an OyerStOcked market.

of the worlds commerce since our Young
republic was founded. But as thew were
born and have been permitted to live and
attain gigantic proportions under the fos-
tering influences of our institutions. it goes
without saying that the same power which
gave them life and nurtured them. has the
unquestioned right to regulate their move
ments. This is more especially true in a
government which derives its power from
the people. Therefore whatever technical
questions may be raised by lawyers as to
the constitutionality of bill which has for
its object the regulation of railway trans
portation. there is a public sentiment in
this country in its favor strong enough to
give it all the force and effect that consti-
tutiOnal provision would do.
1t may therefore be regarded as fixed
and unalterable fact that for all future time
railway transportation will be under gov
ernmental supervision. Such being the
fact then it becomes incumbent upon both
the government and the railway managers
to unite i'll an effort to give the experiment
fair trial, as well as to conscientiously en-
deavor to discover the defects of the crude
measure which has just passed congress.
and to secure such future legislation as will
make IL perfect in all its details.

INTERSTATE COMMFRCE.

1t is hardly within the range of possibili-
ties that the president will veto the inter-
state commerce bill which has passed con-
gress. The immense vote by which the bill
passed both branches of congress IS so
clearly Indicative of public sentiment re-
garding this matter that the president will
hardly have the temertY to interpose the
veto power to defeat the will of the people
expressed in such definite manner, even if
he was disposed to do so. But there is no
evidence that he has any such disposition.
On the contrary. his whole past record JUS
titles the belief that he is in entire sympa-
thy with the objects of the measure and
will be only too glad to avail himself of the
opportunity to put it in operation.
The duty of atfiXing his signature to the
bill is not the most responsible one that the
president will have to perform in connec-
aion with this measure. The appointment
of a commission is the matter of supremest
impoItanc for upon the character of that
body depends the success or failure of the
experiment. In some respects the inter-
state commerce bill is the most important
measure that ever passed congress. 1t is
she initial experiment of governmental con-
troll over the railway system. There is a
doubt expressed as to the constitutional
right Of the government to exercise this
power. When the federal constitution was
framed railroads were unknown, conse-
quently there could be no provision in that
intrument referring directly to this subject.
Railways have sprung into existence and
have grown into the most powerful factor
